SEATTLE -- Do you ever get really mad behind the wheel? If you said "no", you’re either in the minority or not being fully honest.

Dirk Nevelle, a Kirkland-based loan officer wrote a book titled, Road Rage Justified.

A recent AAA study found a majority of drivers, 51% percent admitted to tailgating. Of those asked, 12% admitted to cutting off another driver on purpose. Another 4% admitted to getting out of their car to confront another driver.

We should mention, Nevelle says he is not condoning road rage, but rather pointing out to the everyday mistakes drivers make that can lead to it.
